Nerve growth factor regulates TNF-alpha production in mouse macrophages via MAP kinase activation.

abstract：:The role of PI-3K in leukocyte function has been studied extensively. However, the specific role of the p110gamma isoform of PI- 3K in CD4 T lymphocyte function has yet to be defined explicitly. In this study, we report that although p110gamma does not regulate antigen-dependent CD4 T cell activation and proliferation...
